While living in India Michael Beste became fascinated by the arts and traditions of the country and its peoples. On his return to Germany in the mid-80's, he set up Noah's Ark - a gallery which reflects his love and respect for the wealth and diversity of India's culture through the ages.

In his inventory you will find carefully selected bronzes, textiles, gold and silver jewellery, folk and tribal art from India and Tibet. His customers include museums and galleries as well as individual collectors.

He is a specialist in the textile traditions of India. You find his article on the Baghs and Phulkaris of the Punjab in HALI 113 (Nov/Dec 2000). Also available is his book on the life and textiles of the Banjara.
